Pros

Free food That's the only thing they have going for them. It use to be really great company when everyone believed in the "businessolver way."

Cons

This whole company is a con! To start off with my own management came to me and said go write a review about businessolver a good one. This company is not good and it's definitely not worth covering up. John and Rae really stopped caring about their employees once they allowed management to change in the Denver office. When I was hired I was told overtime will only last until December. Til this very day we are forced to work overtime. They have let so many people go or forced them to quit that there's not enough support for the clients. A huge part of the problem is management my supervisor has no idea what's going on 90% of time. Promotions are given to people who don't even apply other employees would like to move up but how are they supposed to when there is no one saying there's a job opening available. You are given a promotion by who you hang out with outside of work or if you give good information about other employees to the boss. This is no way a company should be ran. Other employees will be leaving along with myself. This place is a sweat shop. I hope that the better business bureau does an investigation on the harassment in this work place that goes on everyday. I hope this was a "good review".

Although I disagree with your comments about our executives, I personally would never want to work at company that I described as a "sweat shop". In addition, we have zero tolerance for any form of harassment. Please contact me so we can understand your claims and take action if warranted. mklipfel@businessolver.com

Pros

You might get lucky and be assigned to a good team- with a team lead that cares.

Cons

Annual raise- will not adjust or prorate based on tenure (if under a year). If you are not there a full year, you miss the entire raise. If you don't drink the kool-aid or acquiesce to the "personality" of the team you're on, it will be held against you. There is no value in experience, skill, or drive. If they decide they don't like you, they'll kick you to the curb. Company used to pride itself on empathy and transparency, but internally, there is none to be found. Company has a "global" team, so there is less opportunity for "onshore" work. Recent reorg included combining of roles- which was disastrous. Leadership depending on cross training while on the job, asking employees to do two jobs (sometimes 3 jobs) for same pay, C-Suite leadership is becoming less and less engaged with day to day function and climate of their employees.

Pros

Snacks Sent to Remote Employees 1x a Quarter Product is “Ok”

Cons

Leadership - in 30 years I have personally never seen worse leadership. My experience was they all lead by fear and intimidation. No transparency. Any disagreement with any leader you will be fired. Expect them to lie to your face all the time. Sales Dept - Run as far as you can. Expect to be laid off just as you build a pipeline. average sales cycle is one year. Do a linked-in search and see the average tenure of the reps. Turnover is extreme. Special treatment for “favorites.” They will say you are doing amazing then fire you. Commission plan is poor - 5% and then fight for the remaining 5% after a year or more. That’s if you don’t get a deal snaked by a “favorite” right after you sell it. Ask how many people hit quota then ask what the tenure of those rep are. You will not have any control of your deal. You will basically become a glorified appointment setter. Ask how many people turned over in the territory. Certain areas of the country are really bad. Don’t even consider the Southeast, West or Northwest as a territory. Service Roles - These people are worked to the bone are overstressed and are given nothing but grief. Culture- read the reviews. The word CULT comes up numerous times. Fall in line or be fired. You will see it from day 1. You were warned.

Thank you for your feedback. It's certainly hard to read. If you are willing, I'd like to discuss with you "live" as what you describe is unacceptable and not aligned with our culture. I can be reached at mklipfel@businessolver.com
